As stated in my preious post, I am currently trying to trigger some network action via AI. Now, the question is: I can make a little patch, just with the module 'Ethernet Command' (and a thumbnail), and use it as a scene trigger. However, of course this also triggers a crossfade, which of course blanks the output (at least the currently selected layer/screen fixture).

Is it possible to make a scene trigger which starts some network action, but doesn't interfere with triggering clips to the layers?

first of all, v8 will have a more selective approach to scene triggers, but as o yet i am unable to say wether it would allow you to do this.

im wondering wether it may be possible to run this as a patch and trigger it to a layer when required just to make the data send - i will see if i can get something lie this running this afternoon for you.
